A while back I heard that Stevie Wonder was considering getting some new artificial vision device implanted. I never heard any more. Did he get the device implanted? Did it work?
Well, I don’t think he got it and if he did, it didn’t work.
He’s here in Detroit this weekend to help celebrate the city’s 300th anniversary(yep, Detroit was founded this coming weekend in 1701).
Anyway, I saw him doing an ad for it recently(must have been filmed within the last month) and he had his glasses on and was swaying his head as he talked(just like he does when he sings).
So, yes, he is still blind.
I vaguely remember hearing about that myself. I was kinda under the impression that an eye (or some part of it) transplant was in the works. Don’t remember exactly though…

Is it true he was bashed in the face with a log flying off of a truck on the highway, leaving him with no sense of smell, and, one assumes, lessened sense of taste? Or is this a UL?
If this is true, my goodness the guys been dealt a couple of poor hands (metaphorically speaking).

UL. He was born blind.
